BLACK PICKET FENCE. (Prodigy. Rebel. Black. Unapologetic. An Autobiography.)

I lived on the street, then I lived in a villa. I slept with people for money until I got my first Broadway show. I tried to kill my father twice - both times before I was ten years old. I was arrested five times before I turned sixteen while, at the same time, I had been labeled a child-prodigy. I beat a man with a baseball bat because he punched his girlfriend in the face. I was homeless and washed myself in fast food restaurant restrooms to be clean for dance classes and auditions .
And if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

These 500 pages cover ONLY the first twenty years of the artist's turbulent life. A life of tragedy, drama, art and music.
This is a literary work that raises the bar for the modern autobiography.
